Chapter 20: The Good Deeds of Cousins and Cousins
The door of the yard was not locked, and Anxia opened it with a gentle push, and the first thing I saw was a few vegetable seedlings planted before, including cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, etc., but all the vegetable seedlings had wilted and withered, not that they did not grow well, but because they were uprooted.
Looking at the chicken coop again, the two old hens in it were all gone, she knew that the An family would not stop, there was no need to guess that it must be her uncle's family, after all, Qiao Dongmei was pitted into the police station by herself, if they knew that they were back, they were afraid that they would have to sharpen their knives.
I haven't lived in the house for two weeks, and a thick layer of ash has fallen everywhere, and I can't pour a glass of water for the two of them to drink, An Xia didn't waste time, and after thanking Lu Baichuan, he sent him and Ye Daliang away.
"If there's anything, just call me, or go find me."
Seeing the worry in Lu Baichuan's eyes, An Xia felt a little warm in her heart, "Mr. Lu, don't worry, if I am unreasonable, no one will want to bully me, and besides, if you can help me for a while, you can't help me for a lifetime, thank you and Da Liang for taking care of me these days, and after my grandmother is discharged from the hospital, I will give you an IOU." ”
A wave of anger rose in Lu Baichuan's eyes, in An Xia's eyes, could he just be reluctant to have a few dollars, afraid that she would repay the debt? He was a little depressed, and took Ye Daliang away without saying a word.
An Xia was stunned and watched Lu Baichuan leave, angry? What did you say?
"Xia Xia, are you back?"
Aunt Ma's voice came from outside the door, interrupting An Xia's train of thought, and as soon as she turned around, Aunt Ma pounced enthusiastically, took An Xia into her arms, and carefully pulled it up and down, left and right, back and forth.
"It's better, it's better to get fat, it's better to be fat! White, Xia Xia, how did your skin become so good? It's whiter and tenderer than the people in the city, can you stay in the hospital and don't see the sun? . ”
Aunt Ma yelled, especially when she saw Anxia's skin, her eyes glowed with envy, there was no way she had a pockmarked face like since she was a child, and the family said that it was because she climbed a tree and dug out a sparrow nest when she was a child, so she got a pockmarked face, Aunt Ma actually looks very thoughtful, just because of such a pockmarked face like sparrow, she has become an old girl, so she said a family affair.
When she went on a blind date, Aunt Ma applied a thick layer of powder, and washed her face after getting married, and her husband was immediately unhappy when he saw her such a face, and he wanted to send Aunt Ma back to her parents' house.
Thanks to Anxia's grandparents, she stopped Aunt Ma's husband, Aunt Ma works hard and is a good hand at home, and marrying a daughter-in-law in the countryside is a big expense, and Aunt Ma's in-laws don't agree with her son's nonsense.
But at the beginning, the little couple didn't have a good time, Aunt Ma's husband Ma Sanchuan and Aunt Ma didn't look down on their daughter-in-law, and they were embarrassed to think that their daughter-in-law was ugly, every time the little couple fought, Anxia's grandparents did not persuade them, so Aunt Ma respected the old couple as elders, and she was also the most enthusiastic to help if there was something going on in Anxia's family, and because Anxia was an illegitimate child, she looked down on her and bullied her like the people in the village.
"Xia Xia, your two twin cousins are so annoying, they pulled out all the vegetables in your house, and your cousin took the two chickens away, and I didn't stop them."
An Xia smiled, and sure enough, she guessed correctly, "Aunt Ma, did you put Qiao Dongmei back?" ”
As soon as she heard this, Aunt Ma hurriedly pulled An Xia into the house, "Xia Xia, Qiao Dongmei is really in the same group as the traffickers?" I've been locked up for a few days, and I haven't heard from you yet, and I heard that your uncle went to visit, but he didn't look at anyone, saying that he was locked up in a detention center and didn't give him a visit.
If she is with the traffickers, I have to let me and Xiaoya stay away from her, the traffickers should all be shot, and they want to sell you to the traffickers, how can there be such a ruthless person! ”
Speaking of anger, Aunt Ma spat on the ground, as if spitting on Qiao Dongmei's face.
"Then I don't know, anyway, my aunt said that the trafficker was her relative, and discussed how much I was worth, I didn't want to tell the police at the time, but I was afraid that my aunt would find other traffickers to sell me? Those traffickers also abduct and sell children, if this is really the case, the eldest aunt is a scourge, there are so many children in the village, what if something happens? I can't watch her do something that is unconscionable. ”
"Yes, you're right, this is the time to check, you come back and have a good rest, my aunt will clean the house for you, I don't know when you will come back at first, plus your uncles always come, I simply didn't get it, thinking about waiting for you to come back and clean it in one go."
Aunt Ma said that she had already picked up the broom and started to sweep the floor, and Anxia naturally would not be idle, so she found a rag and began to plaster, and the two of them worked for two hours before cleaning the house.
Halfway through, Aunt Ma went back for half an hour, made lunch, and brought a bowl of white rice, topped with oily bacon fried cabbage moss, sour and hot potato shreds, and two pieces of fried salted fish, and brought rice to Anxia.
Anxia is also not polite, there is nothing at home, the firewood is all damp, and the fire has not yet started, and after a while, she will go to pick up some dry branches, dry the firewood before, and cook these days.
After eating, Anxia cleaned up, and just as she was about to deliver the bowl, Aunt Ma came over.
"Count that you're done eating, this freshly boiled water." Saying that, Aunt Ma familiarly entered the house, found the boiling kettle in the old cupboard outside, and poured the boiling water into it.
"Xia Xia, your skin is really good, there is no light in the house, it looks white and tender, as if it is shining."
An Xia knew that Aunt Ma was obsessed with her pockmarks, and she had been in pain for more than forty years, she was incapable before, but now with Bingqing Jade Skin Cream, she suddenly wanted Aunt Ma to try it.
"Auntie, come here." An Xia pulled Aunt Ma into her room, and with a twist of her wrist, the porcelain bottle of Bingqing Jade Muscle Cream appeared in her hand.
"Auntie, this is when I was hospitalized, I bought a bottle of ointment, not in the hospital, I happened to meet a Jianghu Langzhong, he said that this ointment when the fragrance of the face rubbing, it will become whiter and whiter, and the scars on the skin will also be wiped off, at that time my uncle slapped me, my face was swollen and broken, I was in pain, I thought about trying it and gritted my teeth and bought a bottle, and my face was fine the next day, and I used it for another week, and you saw the effect, it was really white, this is the rest that is not used up, or you can try it too."
"W-How?" Although Aunt Ma said this, her eyes were firmly fixed on the small porcelain bottle, and she didn't blink, because Anxia's skin was so good now, although she didn't believe it, she suddenly had great hopes for this small bottle.
"Auntie, try it, this little ointment smells good, you see."
An Xia opened the bottle, leaving a small half bottle of milky white transparent ointment, and a faint floral fragrance wafted from the air, fresh and refined.
Aunt Ma was so moved that she couldn't refuse, so she carefully took the porcelain bottle and left.
